If the SIA format is selected, the panel can be programmed to automatically generate all zone and
user code numbers, thus eliminating the need to program these items.
If the
SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes
option is enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s Reporting Code is programmed as [00], the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the Reporting Code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FF], the panel will
automatically
generate the zone or user code number.
The Communicator Call Direction options can be used to disable the reporting of events such as Openings
and Closings. If all of the Opening and Closing Reporting Codes are programmed as [00], the panel will not
report.
If the
SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes
option is disabled, the panel will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s Reporting Code is programmed as [00] or [FF], the panel will not attempt to call central
station.
2. If the Reporting Code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the
programmed Reporting Code.
Please refer to Appendix B for a list of SIA identifiers.

SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes ................................... Section [381]: [3]
Pager Format
The
Communicator Format
option for either phone number can be programmed as the Pager Format. If an
event occurs and the
Communicator Call Direction
options direct the call to a phone number with the Pager
Format selected, the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager, extra digits will be required in order for the format to function properly. The following is a
list of Hex digits and the functions they perform:
• Hex [B] - simulates the [
✱
] key on a touch tone phone
• Hex [E] - two second pause
• Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
• Hex [F] - marks the end of the phone number
• Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager once. Once the appropriate phone number is dialed, the panel will
send the account number and Reporting Code followed by the [#] key (Hex [C]).
The panel has no way of confirming if the pager was called successfully; a Failure To Communicate trouble will
thus never be generated.
The pager format will not cause any form of ringback.
Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will
be interpreted as a [#], which will terminate the page before it has finished.
Pager Format will not force dial, but will check for busy tone.
